The way she spoke to multiple audiences in the same answer was masterful. She would start by addressing the camera and the American people about something substantive, then turn directly to Trump and bait him with something she knows he won’t be able to ignore, by looking straight at him and saying stuff like “military leaders who worked for you have told me that you are a disgrace.” So. Damn. Good. And he refused to make eye contact with her, which says a lot.
I’m not sure if people realize how hard it is to pull something like that off, especially to a person who leans on racist/misogynistic/violent rhetoric.
Yeah, I realized pretty quickly she was speaking to as large an audience as she could. It’s why she didn’t get specific on some things I would have liked. But that didn’t matter because I can read and was able to look it up, and her policy is nuanced and effective. She expressed things in a way that was accessible to those who “aren’t political” or are undecided. That was the correct target audience.

It’s almost like she was a prosecutor who is used to handling all kinds of dark characters.
